The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. (NC100BW), Pennsylvania Chapter, was chartered in 1981, with 42 members sworn in the following year. The idea for the chapter originated during a train ride between Sylvia Webster, the founder and first president of the Pennsylvania Chapter, and Jewel Jackson McCabe, founder of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. During their conversation, Jewel persuaded Sylvia of the need for a Pennsylvania chapter, and Sylvia embraced the opportunity. Over the years, the Pennsylvania Chapter has grown to over 200 members, and currently, it boasts more than 130 members from a wide range of professions and backgrounds.
The Mission of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. is to advocate on behalf of black women and girls to promote leadership development and gender equity in the areas of health, education and economic empowerment.
The Vision of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. is to see black women and girls live in a world where socio-economic inequity does not exist.
